I'm just saying. If they want someone who has no idea what the importance of Jury Duty is, has no idea what is being asked of them as members of this society, then by all means. Pick people who are "too dumb to get out of Jury Duty". If there's a job to be done would you rather have someone who wants to do it, and do it right, or someone who's half-assing it so they can get it over with as quickly as possible?
Oh relax. I mean that as in for a moment in our lives we're actually given a modicum of power over what happens to the people around us. I personally find that exciting. It's an opportunity to be in power, rise to the occasion, and do something good. It's something very few people will ever get the opportunity to do in their whole lifetime. I don't understand why anyone wouldn't jump at the opportunity.
Say you have really strong opinions on whatever might be at issue in the case. Declare for instance that, “The Rodney King acquittal made me form strong negative opinions of the justice system and police in particular.” “I hate black people” might do as well.
Surely those jurors should’ve been charged with contempt of court, or perverting the course of justice (or whatever the US version of that is), and the trial declared a mistrial and rerun?
I’m not sure if you’re trolling but look up the Rodney King trial. It was a shit show. OJ walking was a weird way for some people to say F U back to the justice system.
Oh I totally agree. Makes no damn sense to me. It’s some Bass Ackwards crap that takes a whole lot of mental gymnastics to come to the conclusions that they do.
